Healthy Choices review of Coupon Inserts from 1-15-12

I broke down and got a couple Raleigh Observers today along with my normal Star News because I wanted to review their coupons for healthy choices. I am extremely glad I did because Raleigh had the best coupons of the 2 papers! I actually ended up with more because the circulation of Star News was so screwed up, I went back for more ROs!!

So...here we go...more ammo for you to toss back at the coupon nay-sayers who say "all couponers are fat because they just buy junk"...lets look at some more "junk" this week!!

Smart Source from the Star News...

So, the following pictures are of all the food related items in this insert....we'll begin with all the healthy choices...

Even the potato chip coupon is not that bad...they make reduced fat Cape Cod chips that aren't too bad for you...this is a borderline healthy coupon though

These coupons were the handful that I found that are not good healthy choices....so that's an excellent percentage of healthy choices vs non-healthy. The rest of the coupons were not food related.

Alrighty, on to the Raleigh Observer...The following coupons have a place within a healthy lifestyle....

The Butterball fresh ground turkey on this coupon is very nice....

This coupon warrants a bit more explanation....The Cape Cod chips come in a reduced fat version that is actually very good...Dean's Dip also comes in light with significantly reduced calories. Cheese kinda speaks for itself, however Kraft has it's fat free shredded so you cant go wrong with that! Also, Hormel makes a turkey pepperoni so this coupon is a healthy score as well!

So...how can ya argue with a chip and dip deal that wont blow your calorie count?

It appears Raleigh sector has more less healthy coupons than Star News, but the Observer also gave us many more coupons in it than the Wilmington sector Smart Source....
